Actress Sophie Ndaba opens up on her restoration

Popular South African actress Sophie Ndaba opens up on her restoration journey after facing health and financial challenges.

During a sit-down interview in July, Sophie said she had nothing in her bank account, her cars were taken from her and her health was depreciating; she lost weight and people had begun writing her obituary.

According to the actress, she locked herself up alone in her house for one year without children and nothing just to seek God’s face.

She claimed to have lots of cars, but it was all taken away from her and it felt like she was starting afresh.

Ndaba claimed to have promised to serve God if she gets restored.

Sophie Ndaba further slammed journalists and people who enjoyed reporting about her low moments and further spiced it.

However, she claimed she was not moved by the naysayers as she was focused on having her flesh and body restored.

“I remember sitting on my bedroom floor… I had nothing, my bank account was clean, I had no cars, I had nothing… God, you’ve brought me to point zero, God I’m here for it… I used to stand naked in front of the mirror, looking at my skeleton body, and say to God let’s go, and I started spilling affirmations… I am a skeleton, people had already written my obituaries, it was me against the world with my God, I cleave unto him…”

“I thought I need to reseek God… I was like I want to find this guy, this guy called Jesus, this guy called God… I stood in front of that mirror every day and I said God, I promise you if you restore flesh by flesh I will serve you…”

“We serve a mighty God, and anybody who doesn’t know who God is, I feel sorry for them,” she added.

The Lichaba family will continue to manage the business while he begins his pastoral journey in the coming months at Nation Hope Ministries in the East Rand, Johannesburg.

“I will not have shares in the business and I’m parting ways with the brand. I have left it to the family to run. It remains a family legacy regardless of my involvement as the business employs more than 30 family members. They are trained and capable of running it in my absence,” he told TshisaLIVE.

“I have been avoiding the calling and even started alcohol businesses. The calling has been heavy and those close to me always knew. It’s now time for it’s manifestation.

“I have been planning to resign for a while and the Bible says you cannot serve two masters so I had to choose one and follow what God has called me for.”

What you didn’t know about actress Sophie Ndaba’s husbands and divorces

Award-winning South African actress, model, and events planner, Sophie Ndaba rose to the limelight in the early 1990s and is best known for her role as Queen Moroka on Generations.

The actress is one of those people who believe that true love exists and despite having a failed marriage or two still gives love a chance.

Here is everything you need to know about Sophie Ndaba’s husband, as well as all the details about her past marriages and divorces.

Who is Sophie Ndaba’s husband?

Sophie Ndaba is currently not married and does not have a husband, but according to sources, she is in a relationship.

In January 2022, Sunday World reported that Sophie Ndaba had started dating a Nigerian pastor and businessman only identified as Allen who reportedly ministers at Shepherd Bushiri’s church.

Since the rumour exploded, Sophie has never confirmed dating the pastor, and it’s unclear if she is really in a relationship or not.

Although she is currently unmarried, Sophie Ndaba has been married three times and divorced three times. Here is a look at her ex-husbands.

Themba Ndaba

Veteran actor Themba Ndaba who is best known for his role as Brutus Khoza on The Queen was the first man to be Sophie Ndaba’s husband. The pair reportedly met in the mid-1990s and got married in 1998.

Like Sophie, Themba Ndaba has been in the acting industry for close to three decades and it is speculated that their mutual love for the film industry might have brought them together.

Sophie Ndaba’s marriage to Themba lasted for ten years and the two were blessed with two children- a daughter called Rudo Ndaba who Sophie had before her marriage to Themba and a son called Lwandle Ndaba.

Sophie and Themba Ndaba divorced in 2007 in what appeared to be a very civil and amicable process and to date, they have not revealed why they broke up.

Bishop Keith Harrington

After her marriage to Themba Ndaba ended, Sophie Ndaba found love again and got married for the second time.

Sophie Ndaba’s second husband was a Mpumalanga-based pastor called Bishop Keith Harrington.

The former couple met in 2011 at the Word of Grace Bible Church in Nelspruit after they were both invited to speak to the youth by the church’s head pastor, Paul Nkuna.

They got married in a lavish wedding that was held at Summer Place, Johannesburg, in December 2011.

Sadly, their marriage ended only six months later, and they separated in June 2012. Unlike her first divorce, Sophie Ndaba’s second divorce was dramatic and very public as she and the man of God both aired their dirty laundry in public during their divorce which was finalized in 2013.

Max Lichaba

Despite having two failed marriages, Sophie Ndaba did not lose faith in love. She got married for the third time to business tycoon Max Lichaba in 2018 and she even changed her name to Sophie Lichaba.

For years, Sophie and Max seemed to have a happy marriage until June 2021, when Sophie dropped Lichaba’s surname and reverted back to Ndaba without an explanation.

In August 2021, Sophie Ndaba’s son- Lwandle, or Ocean L, released a song where he dissed his stepfather in his lyrics and accused him of physically and emotionally assaulting his mother.

Former Generations actress Sophie Ndaba breathes fire at journalist: Do I look like I’m sick?

Former Generations actress Sophie Ndaba has hit back at a journalist who claimed that her posh house in Johannesburg had been “auctioned” after she failed to honour her contract with Mercantile Bank.

Sunday World, on 23 September, reported the thespian lost the house she bought for over R2.2-million in October 2021, after she struggled to keep up with her monthly installments.

According to court documents allegedly seen by the tabloid, Ndaba and her company, Sophla Trading, (who were cited as the first and second respondents) obtained a R2.2 million home loan from the bank to purchase the house on 15 September 2016.

The house in question was featured on Top Billing in June 2016.

‘EDUCATION 101’

Sophie did not take kindly to the reports and subsequently took to her personal Instagram account to address the allegations.

“Dear Sunday World and your stupid stupid journalist who wrote that my house was sold by the bank. Darling let me give you education 101, when a bank sells a house it’s called an auction [and] I sold my house through CF Property agents,” the actress said in a video.

According to the publication, Sophie Ndaba failed to pay the bank over R1 million shortfall from the proceeds of the sale of her home.

“The shortfall is between me and Mercantile Bank and that’s my fight that I am fighting privately with them and it doesn’t involve you,” she hit back.

On 12 February 2019, Mercantile Bank instructed its lawyers to write a letter to Ndaba and inform her that she has breached the contract, however, when she failed to settle the arrears, the lawyers sent another letter on 5 March 2019 – telling her that the banking group was cancelling the agreement.

Therefore, Mercantile Bank, in 2020, cancelled the agreement after Sophie ignored its repeated attempts to get her to settle the arrears, the tabloid reported.

‘I AM REWRITING MY FUTURE’

The publication seemed to further anger Sophie Ndaba by calling her “ailing”.

“Number two, I’m not ailing. Do I look like an ailing person? Stop messing with my business, my family and my future. I am rewriting my future and I don’t need you helping me with your stupidity,” she concluded.

What really happened to actress Sophie Ndaba?

Sophie Ndaba’s disappearance from social media and other entertaining activities is disturbing. The actress’s last post on Instagram was in November 2021 and it’s been a while since she made headlines. In late 2021 the star made headlines due to the divorce between her and her husband, Max.

Sophie reportedly divorced her husband due to his infidelity and the saga went up to the extent of her son dropping a diss track against Max.

The actress’ whereabouts are unknown to most fans and nothing has been said of her since she took an unannounced break. Asides from the whole divorce issue, Sophie is known to have a long-term battle with depression and diabetes.

A few years ago, she was rumored dead, but she rubbished the rumors saying she was sick, as she appeared to have lost weight. We hope Sophie Ndaba is fine and okay – Her fans miss her dearly.
